Teams of players fight in zero gravity to control hollowed-out asteroids, huge
fragments of Moon rock and the ruined remains of the International Space
Station. Shattered Horizon is exclusive to the PC and is also one of the first
games to require a DirectX 10 graphics card running under Windows Vista or the
recently released Windows 7.

one whole level, were added as a direct result of beta tester feedback. The
process worked so well that we have decided to continue it after launch. Gamers
who pre-order Shattered Horizon will join an elite group who will get early
access to help test and refine new levels to be released in future content
updates.”
